However, there is nothing to prevent the user from lying about the author & committer name/email/date information, when they make the commit. -Jacob -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.

If a user has local copy of the data, he can freely modify the data and you can't do anything about it; at worst they would just open the file in a text editor and reproduce the changed made in the patch manually. At most you could do some complex obfuscation scheme that will self-checksum the source during build or something, but nothing you could do is going to be incircemventable. -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis A lot of people have my books on their bookshelves.

[git-users] User Restrictions....
Is it possible to allow commit, or patch apply, permissions for a user, but only if they aren't the ones that made the modification? For instance, if someone submits a patch to the user, the user will be able to apply the patch; however, if the user creates a patch, the user shouldn't have the ability to apply the patch. Is this possible with GIT? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group. To post to this group, send email to git-us...@googlegroups.com.
